    I would not call ClickBank a scam per se, I hope to publish there myself soon. They do have a tough time weeding out products of poor value but always work on it.

    However, I cannot speak to any practices considered fraudulent.

    I would think that a single individual on the inside could pull that off but if it was company wide, we would hear from someone on the inside eventually and by now.

    They can't be totally nepotistic to be able to allow this company wide, plus they are watched to some extent by the State Attorneys General(s) and by the Federal Trade Commission.

    I have dealt with these groups directly and they don't screw around because they make money from fines, always a secondary motive.

    The BBB is pretty questionable and a joke. All you have to do as a business is basically reply and show you have done everything reasonable to appease the customer. Generally, there is no "judgment" until one side quits replying back and forth, usually the retail customer quits first, about the issue.

    As long as you keep volleying back and forth they will let it hang in the air unreported and the burden of proof is up to the customer once the business replies.

    Plus, as a business you pay to join the BBB, whose side do you think they are on, really.

    I think a lot of consumers see clickbank as a scam because they sell no tangible goods. For marketers its agold mine.

    Of course Clickbank is not a scam, but I wish they would filter out the scam products so us honest publishers and affiliates would have a little more credibility.

    I have had the same experience as a vendor, not as an affiliate. They have been easy to deal with and have paid on time. My experience over the past 2.5 years has been positive.

    No, it's not, anyone that says it is must be an idiot, Clickbank isn't a set paycheck for like your guarenteed to make maybe 40 - 50 every 2 weeks. It takes actual work to get people to buy products (most people don't like to work thus they want to make money online.) An e-Entrepeneur is what clickbank is providing a chance for.

    If you look for a scam, you'll find a scam. If you look for treasure, you'll find treasure. or something like it.
